L.O.E. #DEMO Bb major scale impro in 5/4 time
This demo combines my scale improvisation lesson (see #SCALES – improvise using the major scale) with one of my backing tracks. I’m playing a Bb major scale over a backing track in 5/4 time. Of course, other combinations are possible. In this video, I try to show what’s possible with only one scale if you follow my improvisation rules presented in LOE 002. 0:22 Improvisation demo: Level 1 2:32 Improvisation demo: Level 3 Impro rules (in short): Level 1: scale only, always up and down 2 octaves, no notes skipped Level 3: change direction any time you want, skipping notes before…

Tim Teissen – Ökostrom (MiA. Cover)

Tim Teissen – I Was Just Thinking (Teitur Cover)
Of all the songs the Danish singer-songwriter Teitur Lassen has written, this is probably my favourite. I like all of it: its melodic range, its melancholic lyrics, its perfect structure.

I changed quite a bit, and it’s become a fairly soulful version in the end. Hope you like it! Tim Teissen – vocals, all instruments, drum programming Arranged, recorded & mixed by Tim Teissen
